The game changes to another form of system mastery, it's not 'how you built your charatcer' but how you play him.... And don't fool yourself 5e will have min/maxing potential, but it wount completely punish and smack around players who don't 'crack out' there charatcers. If I took what you said...

And the banana has split

as someone that also played pathfinder.... I'm going to be switching to 5e. what won me over is the way they are doing minimalist skills and Bounded Accuracy maybe it's an effect of playing the PFS adventures, but the game has jumped the shark.. when you play a game where you can have have max...

Anyone want to take bets on when we will get the last packet? it's the 10th... I predict on the 20th

Seeing I know some sales numbers from distributes... I can safely say you are full of it... D&D 4e sold well.. not gang busters.. but well... also don't forget their online D&D service numbers... those were very sold

The same things exists within many other companies.... yes even pathfinder.. just try and play a pathfinder game with the 1st printing of the core book There has been enough changes you can almost call it pathfinder 1.5 Also let's not fool ourselves, 5e is in development because pathfinder is...

Your coming at it from 4e design...look at 3.5 specs had no armor training and as I recall just simple weapons. Adjust your expectations and stick to the general concept. Sorc: someone who wields magic though willpower and some inborn arcane gift. Warlock: someone who wields arcane power by...

heck they said that very thing on the WoTC message boards... they fully expect many campaigns to start at 3rd.... 1st & 2nd are for beginning characters (like the campaign I'm starting in two weeks where my players are playing the next generation of a famous adventuring party)

well for Barbarian.. I can invasion quite a few sub-classes.. for example an civilized rager (Porthos) and Totem Rager for example.. it's the rage ability (and all it's sub-mechanics) is what makes that class unique from the fighter

I'm currently in the process of introducing 4 people to playing RPGS next week.. and trust me, you are looking at it form a players point a view.. not from a new players point of view. I attempted to start one of these players with pathfinder.. her head exploded when she saw all the stuff she...

I think you are seeing simplicity the wrong way... if you advance in a level you have to deal with this one new thing you can do and the next level (a few games later) something else. instead of leveling and dealing with 5 new things you can do (class ability and a super feat) I think...

Umm Looking at the current playtest packet it's not.. the character would still be a fighter (gladiator) as far as stats and advancement.. but RP wise the player played it as a duelist and the GM understands that character never fought in the games.

Ummm you do know it's easy to ignore the gladiator name.... I can build a duelist type character using the gladiator, and say I'm a duelist... I'm sure the GM and other players won't mind at all. My god, when did creativity and the willingness to rename things to fit your world or character...

ya I have to agree.. I play pathfinder every so often and there are times you have a cool idea but look at your sheet and think "damn I lack ranks in that skill" in 5e (when using the base skill-less system) I feel free to come up with cool stuff all the time... as a player 5e allows you to...

You may want to take another look at the Kick Starter.. we as posted a sample character.

It will, as well as rules for playing Alpha level heroes if you wish. The death comes into play with even the basic rules you played with, a player at one of my tables almost died, and had been infected... (knowing that heroes fortitude defense.. she was as good as dead.) If it was a home...

Crothian, unfortunately the table you sat at just didn't gel, and for that I deeply apologize (Three players of the five players had already hit the bar and this were in a silly mood, which is why I offered to call the game 2 hr in) I wish you would have come up to me, I would have made sure to...

When we came up with the idea, and play tested it the first time we felt very much the same way... But, we (and our players) found that after your 2nd combat things started to move along much faster. Once you know your character and grasp the system, things move along much quicker and start to...

Kealios, If you have any questions (will doing X brake Y.. or why did you do Z) don't be afraid to ask... I'll do my best to answer them...

We are also selling the pdf for 12.00 on RPGnow for the New Year, New Game sale! I would tell you how amazing the game is and that I run it every Sunday, but I'm a little bias as I was one of the lead rules developers for the new system. :D
